Defying GravityDoes anyone else ever feel an urge to defy gravity? I'm not talking about jumping off a tall building. I'm speaking of something more like diving into the depth of a vast blue sky. Or sailing on an eagle's wings.

I can't remember a time when I haven't yearned to 'experience' nature's richness and depth. Here at Elk Lake Resort I've had many opportunities to scratch the surface.

However, after a winter filled with snow - blowing snow, drifting snow, softly falling snow, snow so thick you can hardly see out your window - yesterday dawned bright, blue, and beautiful. The quintessential 'perfect' day.

It was one of those days when the view out your window is so intense it creates almost a physical ache. It was one of those days when I wanted to 'experience' the grandeur.

Why? I don't know. What made Wilbur and Orville want to fly? What made Ben Franklin want to 'know' lightning?

I don't expect to hear of an anti-gravity patent coming out soon. Until it does, I guess I'll just sit back, enjoy the view, and thank God I'm alive!

About Me

In 2010 Jake and I packed up our camper and traveled around the United States for a year; it was an amazing and life-changing experience. We didn't want to go back to "real" jobs so for a few years we worked in an Idaho ghost town in the winters and as summer help here at Elk Lake Resort, Montana. We fell in love with Elk Lake and the Centennial Valley...the ruggedness, the pristine beauty, the peacefulness. After kicking the tires for 3 years, we sold our house in the Pacific Northwest and became proud owners of Elk Lake Resort. We hope you have a chance to visit us here!
